Diverticular Disease
Diverticular disease involves the formation of small bulges or sacs, known as diverticula, in the intestinal walls, predominantly affecting the colon. Common in older adults, symptoms may include abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits. Early diagnosis and management can prevent complications like diverticulitis or bleeding.
